    Completely overrated! Ordered the seafood tower with crab, shrimp, oysters and clams. The clams were inedible and the shrimp were dry. For main course ordered the scallops which were tough and chewy, artichoke char was bland with no flavor. The prices were outrageous for a less than ordinary meal.

    This restaurant is a local favored for many other people that live nearby. I’ve been coming to this restaurant from Connecticut for over 10 years and I’ve never been dissatisfied. The food and service and atmosphere are excellent.

    Had not been in over 9 months. So very loud. Tough to go even on a Tue evening it was tough to visit with my friend and hear the whole thing! Octopus was highlight - donuts were dense and not delivered with chocolate or caramel dipping.

    Varka's is the best seafood restaurant in Bergen County, far better than Oceano's. The food is always fresh and perfectly prepared. Service is attentive but not overbearing. They tend to try and rush your meal on Fridays and Saturdays, so we went on a Thursday and the meal was served in a more relaxed manner. The only negative is that this place is LOUD. I had to lean over to my wife to hear what she was saying. My Apple watch kept telling me the decibles were dangerous - not sure what can be done about that, so bring ear plugs.
